But i want this new sword to be epic. ive looked around online, but does anybody have any good sword-ology, or any websited that show examples i could model this thing after. the only thing...

    Need a lame power.

    Me and a couple of my freinds also had a lame super power conversation, but it was more of a "well, if you were a super hero, your power would be the ability to go back in time for seventeen seconds." things of that nature. my favorite was the ability to move any object three inches. on the...

    Starting a second story, a good idea? Or a response to cold-writers feet?

    Well, revisiting this idea, i was thinking about having someone haul him out at night, with no one knowing what happened, he ends up in slavery, then ends up a soldier for the army he was a slave for kicks ass, becomes awesome. army loses, gets disbanded, then he comes back (for a funeral, or a...

    Starting a second story, a good idea? Or a response to cold-writers feet?

    So the reason that i started writing in the first place is that im staring down the barrel of a military deployment that looks like its going to involve a) high stress and b) alot of down time. Now that i started writing my story, i just had like, a semi truck of an idea hit me, and im debating...

    White Mage

    Well, is she the only crazy one? if she was the only ass kicking one, and the rest used their powers peacfully, then she would be a renegade __________. But if her gifts were compleatly unique, then she wouldnt really have a name to begin with, cause no one would see her coming.

    How to avoid Info-dumping...i cant stop!

    So ive written a prolog and 3/4 of a first chapter, and it is a significant amount of info dump. my question is how can you start a story with about 1.5 k years of history, seven characters with different backstorys and history, and NOT info dump?

    Sword of Truth series

    I like terry goodkind, i like alot of the one book storys he has written, and i can honestly say that i like sword of truth....for about the first seven books. i think he just made the story go on too far. after four books of the original plot not moving forward at all, it just became a new...

    Weighing an all human world vs distinct different races.

    Well, the concept is that when the 'diety' left, he transfered his essence into the earth, so even though he isnt a controlling factor, the earth still has magic and kind of subtly shapes events to fit in with some version of fate. So the magically charged earth could be an explaining factor for...

    Panthion of the Dragon- Proglog

    The six children sat on the floor of the room, not fidgeting, or fighting, or wiggling as children are known to do, but in rapt silence. They sat in front of the old man like they’re very lives were dependent on his next words. “I don’t know why you little snips are so interested in me; my...

    Weighing an all human world vs distinct different races.

    Well, the way it stands now is with the humans being created by a diety, but they have had about six hundred years to evolve since certain events made the diety...uninvolved. So the way i had it planned out was the differnt cultures evolved to fit there lands, the northernmen became big and...

    Where'd it go and will it come back?

    Without dropping a name, i remember a very famous author that had this same problem, he was well into his series, and he just lost it. he tried righting new series, he tried re-writting stuff, and eventually, he waited so long that people started writing short stories about his characters. It...

    How to make a character instantly likable?

    I would say bring a side character along that isn't very savy with the social commentary, for whatever reason, and have this character pull a god natured rib on him. it shows humor, personability, possibly charisma, and creates an imidiate relationship with at least one character....IMO.
